in thread A string that begins with $ (again)

OK , better this way ?
I think i can sort the wanted lines from the not-wanted ,but the only thing i can use is the first 6 caracters and all lines begins with:
$GPGLL, $GPRMC ,$GPBOD etc.... ( the rest of the characters are newer the same)


But when i try to store a single line the first 6 characters is striped off, and the rest of the line canīt be used for sorting them out.
Sorry for being such a *lamer* ;) , / Johan

    They aren't being stripped off. use this.. to test 
    #!/usr/bin/perl -w

#no need here, but you should put this in all your scripts.
use strict;

while (<>) {
    print "$_\n";
}

    Now run that and you'll see that all the data is intact.

      Thanks, NOw i just have to figure out how to test every line and store the right one in a var.
      I canīt do a:
      !#/user/bin/perl -w

use strict;

while (<>) {
$var = substr($_, 3, 2);
print "$var";
}

        You're going to want to use a regular expression. Look at perlre to get started.
